I'm Never Done

I thought I was finished with Christmas decorating a long time ago, but when we went to buy a tree for our church, I saw this one and had to have it! Unfortunately, they didn't have them in stock so I went on the hunt and finally tracked one down at another store a few more miles down the road.

The reason why I fell in love was because it looks so real! I have wanted one like this for a few years but the prices I was seeing made me say

"no way"! I just can't fathom a price being over $150 for a Christmas tree. Now if it were one of those trees that would fit into a mansion and was 10 feet tall, well then I could understand.

And when a tree doesn't need all sorts of decorations or lights to be pretty, then you know it's a gorgeous tree!

Being a foot taller looks so much better with the window wall. It's 7 and a half feet tall...our ceilings are 8 and a half.

I bet you're wondering where the other tree is now....

It is perfect in one of our guest rooms! Next year, I think I'll put it downstairs though.

I found a battery operated star for this space since I don't have an outlet. I love it!

So there ya go...I am never done with decorating, even with Christmas! I love my tree and am so thankful for being able to buy it. God has been so very good to us with my sweetie not having a job. This Christmas, so far, has been the very best ever because I have him home with us. I am one blessed woman!

Your home is so beautiful. I love so many of your clever decorating ideas. I bought a big tree once that was half price after Christmas. I used it two years...now I have a skinny tree and love it. I gave the big tree to my daughter, she is still using it. :):) Blessings to you and yours for a merry Christmas. xoxo, Susie

I love it, Melanie! It really does look real! My daughter bought one the day after Christmas two years ago. It was a $900!!!! tree with 90% off! So, with tax she paid less than $100. I had not seen it until this year and I thought it was a real tree. I love that you do so much for Christmas-everything looks so beautiful. I am glad you have your hubby home for the Holidays this year and after that we should start praying a job for him, I suppose? Too bad you couldn't pay him to stay home! lol xo Diana

About Me

Hi, my name is Melanie. I am a stay at home mom who has two of the most beautiful daughters a mama could ever want(every mom says that, right?) and a wonderful hubby that actually lets me do whatever I want when it comes to decorating. As long as he has a comfy place to be and a full belly, then he's good to go.
I grew up in a small town and loved it. My "Mammaw" had a huge part in raising me. She taught me some very important things....always be nice, have a relationship with and love God, and be the very best mom and wife I could ever be. Of course there is more, but then I'd be writing a book.
I am so very blessed to be here and have what I have. My wish is to share my loves and passions with you...hope you all enjoy.
